Get the Deep Slumber Blowdart Upgrade

Before heading to the contract location, we recommend unlocking the Blowdart and getting the Deep Slumber upgrade.

This will prevent guards from waking up sleeping guards, which will make fullfilling the contractor request easier.

Blowdart Best Upgrades

Head to the Badaraya Sands Camp

Make your way to the Badaraya Sands Camp located in the western Wilderness. The area is a simple camp with exits on every side, but with guards stationed nearby.

Put the Guards to Sleep

Make your way to the camp, climbing the small rocky cliff, and use the Blowdart to put the guards closest to the exit to sleep. The most important guard you'll need to put to sleep is the one on the watchtower as they are overlooking the area where you'll exit later.

Take Note of the Patrolling Guards

There is an armored guard accompanied by another guard that will circle the camp and will try to wake the guards.

With the Deep Slumber upgrade, the guards will stay asleep, but the armored guard will continue circling the area. Take note of their current location to avoid getting spotted.

Carry the Scholar

Sneak into the center of the camp where the injured scholar is. You'll need to carry him safely out of the camp to complete the quest.

We recommend exiting towards the watchtower side of the camp since the now asleep guard there will not spot you.

Hide in the Bushes

You can sneak and hide in the bushes while carrying the scholar. Make sure to wait for the patrolling guards to leave if they are close to the watchtower side of the camp before heading out in the open.

Place the Scholar on the Ground

Once you leave the Badaraya Sands Camp and are no longer in a restricted area, place the grateful scholar on the ground who will explain that the treasure beneath the sands is actually water. Finish his dialogue to complete the contract mission.
